Title: An extremal $${\mathcal{N}}=2$$ superconformal field theory

Abstract

Here, we provide an example of an extremal chiral $${\mathcal{N}}$$ = 2 superconformal field theory at c = 24. The construction is based on a $${{\mathbb{Z}}}_{2}$$ orbifold of the theory associated to the $${A}_{1}^{24}$$ Niemeier lattice. The statespace is governed by representations of the sporadic group M 23.
